Pompeia

2. The daughter of Q. Pompeius Rufus, son of the consul of B. C. 88 [POMPEIUS, No. 8], and of Conelia, the daughter of the dictator Sulla.
She married C. Caesar, subsequently the dictator, in B. C. 67, but was divorced by him in B. C. 61, because she was suspected of intriguing with Clodius, who stealthily introduced himself into her husband's house while she was celebrating the mysteries of the Bona Dea. (Suet. Jul. 6; Plut. Caes. 5, 10 ; D. C. 37.45.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
